I would say that's a too big step. We waited for 8 years for GnuPG 2.0 to be rock-solid; GnuPG 2.1 is not yet there. There are still a number of issues that would disturb users who come from GnuPG 1.4 (e.g. dropped support for OpenPGP v3 keys). - -Patrick -----BEGIN PGP SIGNATURE----- Version: GnuPG v2 iQIcBAEBCAAGBQJU05RRAAoJENsRh7ndX2k7SYEP/2Bqt226Y9dF+fvXFgG6TZOt 6ASAZBzGNFRVE757+FMjjdzFcTkM6BgXlzNb1WZFvIR37Yfk/aGfnet+sf3cFzIZ 9k9toZPhhyOhAT5HqG0PmFPaDQ6Hgat0mq64yTHEm/tHvZw0dxQXLfBybut5qZA9 4x8s+z3RfaQKZ0YE2ibkv29ioENsEZxqWds5+ochgjtDC72skCtdz/L0qfePn0s4 hT/wcGOrvo9sUbbDzrrvKHXBKMoqXdBtim+jV6bp8B9r3yAt7hDggcnZbKh4u8mp rqYexqJ/Vxkc1Tth+sDZXSNa/cRP1sd4jFOpnZ1DXEY6AiI2UUye2XFsX0RTD4X6 FImAiZs1ULqqVUTgx20cpcjKFNqF2JRhU9zvzaN7DPX49G6akVHUTcgDeDQUJ07O 2Xi9qS8dvg6l2ZuL9iKUPlzClQ4bSmaNu1QakY6ugFP92teag/1uIQ7E7pspLAUS p2RxBnX4Nyn0MOy9EyudHOeC8Tw9t5FUPtdce7UhIzmqcWxLBbWbwxutLvp5jrpH B/hnNGvaxrxNit88nn8MbudRy6SEVLNtrvajw/jtE3BNAF7G39IKecYg2pkcuOSy uz3VWPGXXSOPGovmVPWnZJ4KHPJDnd82jnVEdKHgzwTHXYZyEPgaqoGhsetzNXq3 R/kjrxt6Ud8w7lkeCAOn =zjNT -----END PGP SIGNATURE----- _______________________________________________ enigmail-users mailing list [email protected] To unsubscribe or make changes to your subscription click here: https://admin.hostpoint.ch/mailman/listinfo/enigmail-users_enigmail.net
